Require employers give employees 3 months sick pay when cancer is diagnosed

Require all employers to provide contractual sick pay on top of SSP

Create a legal entitlement to two weeks’ paid bereavement leave for employees
We call on the Government to create a legal entitlement to two weeks (10 working days) of paid bereavement leave for employees, which can be taken flexibly and in separate periods where needed, to ensure consistent protection for bereaved workers across the UK.

Require employers to implement medical advice on workplace adjustments
Employers do not have to implement GP and Occupational Health advice on workplace adjustments if it is not "reasonable", leaving disabled and unwell workers unprotected. We call for a law requiring employers to follow medical recommendations unless they can prove it’s objectively impossible.
